0.4% of the US' energy generation comes from petroleum.

The majority comes from Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear and Renewables.

I'm thinking bigger than that.
We get 20% of our electricity from nuclear.  Very few countries do more than us.  But France gets 70% from 
nuclear! There is no reason we can't aspire to get to France's level in the coming decades.  Nuclear jobs are good jobs.  We could and should get so good at building nuclear that the Indias and Nigerias of the world are calling us, trying to get us to build and supply plants for them! Today they call South Korea.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
